Summary:

"Joshua Schwebel speaks to long-time collaborator Lauren Wetmore about their shared interest in closing the gap between how art is discursively framed and what it actually does. Schwebel's artistic practice stems from a deep need to understand the world, coupled with an allergy to authority. "Art is rhetorically positioned as radical," notes Schwebel, "but what we're doing is advancing capitalism for people who benefit from it and this is not in our interest as artists or workers." With Nizan Shaked's Museums and Wealth: The Politics of Contemporary Art Collections (Bloomsbury, 2022) as a prompt, Schwebel and Wetmore talk about their upcoming book project, The Employee (forthcoming from Art Metropole in 2025). They also discuss The Paydirt Seminars, a series of talks dedicated to examining the intersections between art, finance, and resource extraction that Schwebel has organized as part of his current exhibition One Hand Washes the Other at Struts Gallery in Sackville, New Brunswick."-- provided by distributor.
